This reminds me of Lisa Miron's book "World on Mute," where AI assisted technocracy makes legislature and the courts obsolete.

Too dystopian for me. And they’re forgetting that it’s men and women who live on this earth and have rights and freedoms. No thanks. I’m not interested.

This smells of "Colossus: The Forbin Project." And not in a good way.

We need individual due process rights to control this sky net.

This is clearly a cover for some other projects, not to mention getting in deeper fake debt.

There’s a real possibility that they can’t actually do any of this World Brain nonsense. At least some people I know who have worked in IT all their lives tell me this is all a huge PsyOp.

However, if sufficient numbers of people believe they do have the technology to be as Gods, its controlling effect will be accepted even if it yields absurd, monstrous and downright dangerous outputs.

depends on the conversation. can they implement it? yes. will it work? no.

their 'climate modelling' is anything but precise. doesn't stop the IPCC and UNFCCC from forcing it down your neck anyway.

they essentially bought into the silly idea that Spinoza was right, it's just a matter of resolution. however, assuming for a second that the world IS deterministic (which i don't personally believe), then that completely ignores that the machine required to simulate the full model would be so complex we couldn't build it anyway.

Throw in a lil Joshua Lederberg AI and the JASON Advisory group and things get all greater good biosecurity real fast.
